Sunday Scenic Showcase December 4, 2016

Very nice Alan! Great details as always.

I really like this one Alan.  Good work.

At some point, I will be building a model of this tower. I recently finished restoring a switchman shanty for the Huber Breaker Preservation Society in Ashley Pa where this tower was located. I want to make a diorama of the shop yards and main street where the tower was located. There was another tower a short distance west at Franklin Junction. These towers were built in the fifties, and only lasted into either the late seventies or early eighties. I'm not really sure. The worker in the yard tower would relay swithcing instructions to the switchman at the shanty location by phone, and later by a two way speaker system.

Lots of progress made on our town at the south end of the layout over the last few months

Good Morning Everyone,

I will start off this morning with a swithctower I constructed for Joey A last year.

Let,s see what you have been working on.

Hey Alan!!!

I finally figured out your secret to your excellent modeling. You have some special water you throw on the prototype, and it shrinks to O scale.

Keep up the good work!!!

Alan, great switch tower. Very different.

TR18, wonderful town. Shots are perfect.

Here is an old one!

   Beautiful scenes everyone! Time to add some TRAINS  into the mix...........
